Let's Try This Again...
I made it back into Doha,Qatar yesterday morning. This time I had my business visa in hand! A step in the right direction. Things are still a little all over the place for this project. Part of that is just the nature of field work. Especially when you ...
Day 2 - Rome at last!
We left the Oryx Lounge at Doha airport after our allotted 6 hours. We then had to wait for our flight to Rome to board. This wad not at 8h30 as expected but only at 10h55 due to a scheduling change by the airline. Flight update! Our flight only left ...

Transfer
... , so we decided to stick together. The wait was around an hour and a half, by which time it was around 7pm. The flight from Qatar to Bahrain was the shorted flight I'd ever been on, and also the emptiest. Nearly every seat around me was empty, so I had ...

Look at me! I'm James Bond!
Spent an hour or so in Doha airport. That's in Qatar. It's basically a desert, and it doesn't look like there's much to do, but it did make me feel like James Bond, flying of to random locations around the world and generally being fuckin' ...
The weather's great, but...
Last week was my third trip to Qatar and every time I go, I come back to Bahrain ready to pack my bags and return home. Call it cultural differences or resistance to change but I find the way I am treated to be very poor compared to how I am treated ...
Good Evening Middle East
... give places like this a chance of the limelight. While Qatar's neighbours fight over oil and land (e.g. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait etc...), Qatar sits shyly rich and proud on the edge of the United Arab Emirates. It is not dangerous at all. I ...

Kuuma, kostea, Doha
23:25, +33, ilmankosteus luultavasti 2362% Dohassa ei ehditty juuri mitään tekemään, kun huomattiin, että jatkolentoon oli aikaa vain 30 minuuttia, joten nopeasti ostettiin pullot vettä ja suoraan koneeseen ja Osakaa päin. ...
Trip to Umm Said
The next day I went out to visit Umm-Said, a costal industrial area of Qatar. I was looking forward for this part as since my childhood I used to fantasize about this area. My father worked in Qatar Steel Company Limited (Qasco) since I was ...

Another busy weekend
This will be a short one. Can't remember when the last time I had a real sleep over was, but now it is re-set to two days ago. Our friends, the Wilson's, are leaving Doha soon, and they wanted us to come over, hang out, play games, stay up late, and not ...

Girls picking up men playing football indoor...
It was a late evening on the tarmac. A warm wind blew in from the west, the Airbus 330 descended silently. The pilots relaxed slightly, moved the stick a half degree to the left, adjusted the flaps and eased the plane down. Thump, thump, a small pause, ...
PIT STOP
After 6.5 hours we are in Dohu, The flight seemed to take forever! I'm not sure why. Maybe knowing there’s another 12.5 hour flight ahead of us doesn’t help! Ollie did very well. It’s 11:30 South African time and ...
Quick visit !
It was really very long journey from flight to the airport. Then we had to literally race with fellow travellers to quicky get through security check and board the flight on time. Later we realized that flight wont take off unless and untill all the ...
